Home Office: Reveal Time!

I'm super excited to finally share with you how our little home office has turned out.

I've already showed you on this post  how it was looking when we started working on it.  As I mentioned there, the view of this room from the upstairs landing used to upset me quite a lot. Well, that's not the case anymore!

I can't stop myself from going in there to have a little look when I'm "in the area" and smiling from ear to ear. (Does anyone else experience this type of odd behaviour after a successful project? Please tell me this is normal and I'm not the only one!?)

Have you noticed the coving?. It's actually the polystyrene one: light and easy to put up. I'm working on a little tutorial for you soon. After coving the dining-room, living-room, hall and our bedroom, we can call ourselves "experts" in this art. I'm of the idea that coving makes a big difference in a boxy room. It softens up those sharp lines where wall and ceiling meet and, together with the skirting, they frame the walls.

This is a closer look at my lovely desk where I can lose myself in bloggy world.

If you follow me on Facebook, you might have probably noticed that one of those four white chairs I found in Gumtree a while ago has made its way to this room and it's sitting standing pretty in there.

All those bookcases that used to be in this wall have been moved to the opposite one.

We've painted that wall in Blue Diamond from Dulux. The rocking chair was another Gumtree find. One day  it will be part  of a nursery but until then hubby suggested keeping it here beside our books, CDs and the window.

Remember the four CD/ DVDs towers that used to add to the visual clutter? I'd like to say that I managed to persuade the Mister to go digital but as that didn't and quite likely won't happen any time soon, we managed to find the collection a new home: cheap Tesco's boxes alphabetically ordered for CDs...

... and DVDs ordered by genre.

This time I've done the labels myself. I'm more than happy to share, you just need to save them in your computer by right clicking the images below and selecting "Save image as". You can then insert them  in a word document, add some text boxes, print and that's it!.

There are a few other bits and pieces that we've done here and that I'll be also sharing with you in the next few weeks. There are also a few other things that remain to be done like hanging some curtains! I'll keep you updated with the progress.

What do you think then? I'm ridiculously happy about it. I've been spending quite some time in this room during the last couple of months. No more blogging in the dining-room for me!
